Happy Birthday!  I hope all is well with you.  I got an e-mail reminder and looked up my stuff about Finland.  Have you graduated? Are you cooking at a place?  If you haven't graduated...how long?  If you want to have some more spices or anything - we could do a swap anytime.  Let me know.

Does anyone have access to Columbian candy?  A friend brought us some coffee candy and I am addicted!!!  They are made by SUPER and are called Cafe Curme- they are in a gold wrapper with brown/gold edges.....I'll set up a trade with just thise if someone knows where to get them.....
thanks

**I have been so bad about getting my latest snack supply recorded here - I promise I will kittana!

Before now I didn't know much about Finland.  I couldn't even pick it out on the map.....that doesn't say much for my powers of geography but thanks to Rikka, or nekkutyttoe, I learned all about where it is and what they eat.  Did you know they don't have peanut butter in Finland??  No M&Ms?  The chocolate chips for cookies come in tiny bags and cost losts of dough? (no pun intended).
Here's how the box arrived....

YEA....I got my package from nadbe11e in Singapore.  I had NO IDEA what to expect (that's one thing I like so much about doing this) and I loved all the stuff she sent.

Here's the box when I got it at work---the post marks always intreges the postman and he has to stay for me to open it.  Good thing I had my camera with me!
And yes, it didn't come looking exactly this way - it came with brown paper - but I liked that this was underneath....it made it seem more like a present....

YEA! I got my package from mooness - we did a private swap - and not only did she pick great snacks but she picked a wonderful gift for my daughter for Christmas that she loves...She's got a great sense of humor too...

I joined snacksters - I really don't blog but wanted to join and share snacks from around the US and around the world - it's fun to try new things!
